Dallas Adult Entertainment: Human Trafficking – More Than What You Think
Human Trafficking – More Than What You Think
Feb 22, 2010- When most people hear the term human trafficking, it conjures images of young women – girls actually – being held against their will and forced into a life of prostitution or slave labor.
Many think about the women that come to the US looking for a better life only to have someone confiscate their VISA and force them to work as a nanny or house cleaner for little or no pay.
This is all correct – to a point.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which certifies victims of human trafficking, estimates 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States each year, with a vast majority never identified as victims.
The 2009 US State Department human trafficking report (for 2008) states that almost half (45%) of the 286 certified adult victims of human trafficking were male. Showing a 6% increase from 2006.
